Abe liucOln's First Fight.

There does not live in the United States
today one who was so actively associated
with the martyred Lincoln as John White,
who lives down the Bishop branch, town
Of Viroqua While in The Censor office
the other day Mr.. White related many
amusing incidents of his boyhood days in
Illinois. when he and Lincoln We're fast
friends. split rails, did surveying and went
to huskins bees together. Lincoln was
his senior ~ number of years, and for
that reasol the every act Of the lamented
president remains fresh in the memory Of
Mr. White. II remember wcll,' said he,
..when the bully of Sangamon county, in
duced by some good naturcd wag, came
to the spot where We were chopping rails
and challenged Abe 10 prize fight. The
great. brawny, awkward boy laughed and
drawled out. i reckon, stranger, you re
arter the wrong man. lneyer fit in my
whole life
But the bully made for Abe and the
first fall Lincoln came down on top of the
heap. The champion was bruising and
causing blood TO flow down Lincoln's face
when a happy mode Of warfare entered
his original brain. He quickly thrust his
hands into convenient bunch Of smart
weed and rubbed the same in The eyes Of
his opponent, who almost instantly begged
for mercy. He WAS released, y, but his
sight for the time being was extinct. No
member Of the trio possessed pocket
handkerchief, So Lincoln, with usual
originality, tore from his own shirt front
the surplus cloth, washed and handaged
the fellows optics and sent him home; -

Of original ideas and ways which charac-
terized his past and future life. In boy

The city council Of this city are set
of chumps to allow the Little Miami rail-
road crossing at Center street TO remain un-
protected by patent crossing gates. The
periods of five minutes during the day
when several trains are not switching over
this crossing are few and far between.
There is a side track on jefferson street,
west of Center street, and cars are con-
stantly being switched across Center street
onto this tack. The result is that this
crossing is one of the most dangerous in
the city. and it is but question of time
until some terrible accident occurs there.
There is no crossing in the city which needs
safety gates worse than that one.

BOLD MEXICAN SOLDIERS.

They Cross the Border and Demand the
Release of Mexican Prisoner.
SAN FRANCISCO. Ca, March News
has reached here of a boil Mexican outrage
at Nogales, A. T. Lieut.. Gutierrez, with
four armed Mexican soldiers, crossed a
bridge over a small creek which forms the
boundary line of the United States and
marched direct to the American custom
house. Arriving there the lieutenant drew
a revolver and aimed it at Henry Littlepage,
a citizen who was standing in the street, and
demanded release of a Mexican named
Puican, whom he said the American
authorities were holding pri-
soner Littlepage snatched the re-
volver and took the lieutenant under arrest.
The latter called to his soldiers to release
him, and one of them covered Lift lepage
with his gun. Sheriff Speed, who had come
up, fired at the soldier. Other Americans
joined in the scrimmage, and the Mexican
soldiers retreated over the boundary, with
one of their number mortally wounded. The
whole town and the country round about
was soon aroused, and arms were in demand,
rs it was expected the Mexicans would seek
revenge. It appears that the soldiers were
sent over by Col. Arvizer, their commander,
to bring back his mistress, who had run

Washington City Notes.
WASHINGTON CITY, March THE Wash
ington Post contains the following account
Of an insult offered the president Friday
night: "a party of humorous citizens, with
F. K. Ward as the moving spirit, hired a
brass band and serenaded the president in
order to show their appreciation of the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Trotter as recorder oi
deeds. The prsliminaries of the affair were
arranged quietly enough and the party made
no demonstrations until it announced itS
presence in front of the executive man
sion with burst of music. "A New Coon
in Town was the air selected, and the band
played this with every conceivable varia.
ton, paying moro attention to volume than
to harmony. The musicians entered into the
spirit of the affair and the music re-echoed
for blocks around until the air seemed laden
with A New Coon in Town
Back and forth in front of the White
House they marched for nearly half an hour,
when they started down the avenue. The
theatres were just letting out as the process
sion came down Fifteenth street, and a
crowd stood to watch it pass Nobody
knew the meaning of the demonstration,
but all recognized the air and
cheered good-naturedly. All the way
down from the treasury to the capitol
the band proceeded playing, without a single
stop over and over the air. which is supposed
to be suggestive of Mr.. Trotter, until they
stopped from sheer exhaustion and dispersed.
AS matter of course the president paid
no attention to the serenaders, but he could
hardly have failed to hear the music. After
the whole thing was over considerable indig-
nation was expressed over what was termed
an Insult to the president, hut the feeling did
not seem to be very strong, and it was gen.
orally regarded as practical joke of con-
siderable significance"

CLEVELAND, Ohio, March THE strike
on the Mahoning division of the New York,
Pennsylvania s. Ohio railroad promises to
assume more serious aspect than was at
6rst thonght probable. Although the yard
men arc the only ones directly interested, the
suspension of their work throws every one
along the line out Of work and only those
engaged in the passenger Traffic are 1t
present doing anything. Saturday the
yards .s in this city were crowded
with cars aud locomotives, all at standstill
and this Is The case along the line between
here and Xoungstnwn. The strikers do not
allow the locomotives of other corporations
to run over tha New York, Pennsylvania &
Ohio track and many manufactures are al
ready suffering for want Of coal, because Of
their inability to haul their coal-cars of the
main tracks Switchmen, roadmen and con-
ductors are backing the strikers.

while the train was making up and was ar
